YYoga opens seventh center in South Granville Area

VANCOUVER, July 29 /CNW/ - Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk Records announces the launch of YYoga's seventh center in the South Granville Area at Broadway and Fir Street next Thursday, August 5th 2010.

Since the first yoga and wellness center opening in August 2008, YYoga has seen an unprecedented growth with almost 500,000 visits last year. It's been reported that over 20 million people in North America now look to the ancient practice, proving that yoga is on the scene to stay, and that YYoga has quickly become Vancouver's top destination.

The newest center boasts a 1600 sq foot yoga room; one of the largest rooms in any center to date. Environmentally sustainable with innovative design the newest center features premium services and amenities that YYoga members have come to love and expect such as such as mat and towel rental, showers with organic and non-toxic products, infrared sauna, an eco-boutique, and complimentary tea.

YYoga offers the most, and the widest variety of classes in Vancouver with over 700 classes per week for all levels. Popular classes include: sweat inducing hot and power classes, pilates and core, chilled-out yin classes and YRide, a unique and innovative class that combines indoor cycling and yoga.

YYoga was started based on the "the belief that more people would do yoga if the classes, facilities, customer service and sense of community were better realized" states McBride. "What we are doing is really quite different. We see YYoga centers as being third spaces where like-minded people gather, very much like a local community centre. This can be to practice yoga, have a massage or just for tea."

A Grand Opening is planned for early September with complimentary classes throughout the day.
